Argel-tal Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Hey guys Just curious how people use their heresy models in 40k games! Do you use say the SM or CSM codex and just proxy forge world models? i.e. this Sicaran Venator is actually a LR Crusader - Or do you use the FW supplements? Cheers, Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293510-fw-heresy-models-in-40k/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Cohort Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I have about 25 vets that are either completely or partially in early marks of armour, including a "veteran" devestator squad that is in all mark 4 armour with heresy era missile launchers.

Joeyray Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I'm happy with opponents models and units from 30k, if 40k rules are available thats fine or we agree on their limits if not. Models are fine too, If someone placed a large World Eaters force and ran it off say a Blood Angel codex I wouldn't bat an eye. Thankfully my meeting of the kind of people who do tend to whine about 30k invading 40k has been rare but that's when the great British saying "Sling yer hook!" comes to mind.

Son of Carnelian Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I saw one individual, can't remember where, who used his standard marines in Horus Heresy as his sternguard in 40k. Works perfectly.

Joeyray Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I may be missing something here, but there isn't a faction of players who take offence to 30/40k crossover? please no all I can imagine is a wee Cederic"You cant use this weapon x/armour y, it was phased out in early M36 and this battle is Cadia circa M41 therefore your entire army/chapter is invalid and I know so because this book says so....."

Argel-tal Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 Hey guys, Cheers for the rapid responses! It's good to hear not many people worry to much about 30k/40k cross over. I just started my Sons of Horus force but all my mates (including myself) all have 40k forces. I didn't want to make it too confusing for everyone!

Hyaenidae Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 At the end of the day, it's just a bloody game. I love thematic story based games, and long campaigns, but I'll roll dice on anybody. If you ain't 'boo hoo-ing' about my volkite weapons, and my dreadnought talons, I won't "boo hoo' about your ugly-ass Centurions.

Ishagu Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Hey, Centurions are really cool looking. They grew on me after seeing them in person... And after they killed a Wraithknight in one volley of fire :-D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293510-fw-heresy-models-in-40k/#findComment-3740619 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 But also, you could just run your HH army against any 40k force. Time travel and alternative dimensions are a good excuse to see a Primarch on the field of 40k :-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293510-fw-heresy-models-in-40k/#findComment-3740621 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonkin Arenis Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I believe FW release experimental rules for some of the HH tanks for use in 40K, and quite a few have been released in the Imperial Armour books (such as loyalist and traitor versions of the Contemptor dreadnought), but they're somewhat nerfed from their 30k counterparts. Really these should only be used with your opponent's consent. As for the models, there's no reason a tactical squad from 30k can't be used in 40k (with a Tactical Support and Heavy Support marine included), and no reason why certain marks and patterns of boltgun and power armour can't be used in M41. Ultimately, there should be few issues with using HH models in a 40k setting, so long as the rules support what you put on the table.

Ishagu Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Does anyone truly think that at 2k points a HH army has any advantage over a 40k one? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293510-fw-heresy-models-in-40k/#findComment-3740940 Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveNYC Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Depends on what you're fighting. HH units are, in theory, all designed around fighting other marines. I'm not sure how the various volkite weapons would balance out against non PA troops.

In the words of Billy Connolly "Never trust a man with one book!" Then you just one up them with FW books. Either Badab, which shows various older Armour Marks in common usage in M41, or IA 2 2nd ed which has various HH era vehicles being present in many Chapter's armouries, complete with 100% legal 40k rules for things which aren't just alternate hulls or turret configurations.. Then you slap him with the rulebook/dreadsock for being a colossal tool.

Emperor's Furor Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I so fancy getting some tech thralls so that even if I don't fully do a mech army I could use them as guardsmen and treat them as 40k tech guard.

skeletoro Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I love kitbashing with HH bits - doing it a lot with my space wolves. Haven't finished many yet, but here's my first 5 blood claws. Less exciting bits in there (there's some corvus armour, a cataphractii axe head, and umbra pistols) but grey hunters will get more. Got a few sons of horus minis, various marks of FW armour, some cataphractii and a Proteus/fire raptor, plus a few other FW/HH models and bits mixed in with my force. Generally I've toned it back a fair bit. I try to avoid too much Mk 2 and 3 because I imagine it's rarer. And I have more corvs than any other mark.
